AMD’sFidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)is here, promising up to a 2.5 times performance increase in supported games across Nvidia and AMD graphics cards. Not only are old and new games alike getting FSR support, but AMD is also improving FSR itself, which is now in version 2.0. Although FSR 2.0 doesn’t alwayslook quite as good as Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), it has better support for GPUs from both graphics companies and for most will provide about the same image quality as Nvidia’s upscaler.
At the moment, the vast majority of games that support FSR use version 1.0, but that’s only because version 2.0 is much newer. Over the coming months, many games will be adding FSR 2.0 to its graphics options.
AMD FSR 2.0 games available now
Deathloopwas the first game to demonstrate FSR 2.0, and it did not disappoint. When it comes to both performance and image quality, FSR 2.0 is pretty much as good as DLSS and is also a massive improvement over FSR 1.0. If all FSR 2.0 implementations are as good asDeathloop’s, that bodes very well for upcoming titles.
Farming Simulator 22
Farming Simulator 22is another game that supports both FSR 2.0 and DLSS. In its review, TechPowerUp found thatFSR 2.0 is very similar to DLSSin both performance and image quality, and also that FSR 2.0 fixed graphical issues that are observed in FSR 1.0.
God of War
Initially,God of Warsupported DLSS and FSR 1.0 (thelatter of which looked terrible), so it surprised many when the developer suddenly updated the game to include FSR 2.0.AMD had even made a listof upcoming games that would eventually support FSR 2.0, andGod of Warwasn’t on it. Perhaps this is an indication that adding FSR 2.0 to existing games isn’t all that difficult.
AMD FSR 1.0 games available now
All of the below titles support FSR 1.0.
AMD FSR 2.0 games coming soon
So far, AMD has confirmed 10 more games to get FSR 2.0:
Of these games, five haven’t been released yet and two are MMOs that haven’t even gotten a release date. It is a bit concerning AMD’s list is so short and names only niche titles, but ifGod of War’sFSR 2.0 update isn’t a one-off thing, then perhaps we can expect FSR 2.0 to make its way into other games too.
